Marketplace applications have become an essential digital solution supporting online transactions, including LPG distribution. The development of this application adopts a multiplatform approach, enabling the application to run on various devices, particularly Android platforms and websites. Using the React Native framework, developers can build applications with a single, efficient codebase for multiple platforms. This study aims to provide users with convenience in purchasing LPG without leaving their homes while offering a more practical and effective user experience. This research includes features for selling, buying, payment, and delivery via courier. The transaction feature facilitates sellers' recording of sales within the application. The results of alpha testing indicate that the Elpijiku marketplace app works well despite some significant errors or bugs. However, acceptance testing results were very positive, with 91% of respondents rating the application and user experience as good. These findings indicate that the Elpijiku application meets user needs in terms of convenience and efficiency and is suitable for use as a digital solution for LPG distribution.
